the shy, half-formed face and the small wounded heart, he blessed the whole length of the body; from the up-stretched arms to the strange, backward turn of the feet, he blessed their high intelligence to brave the abandoned places only to save what is theirs alone to give, blessed again and again that perfect beauty until the child became sunlight, forever shining within – of self-blessing.
